Cannon practiced for the first time with the Patriots on Tuesday, according to multiple reports. The team drafted Cannon in the fifth round and he started the season on the non-football injury list. The Patriots will have three weeks to watch Cannon practice before they have to make a roster move with him.

New England is as healthy as its been all year coming off the bye. Everyone on the team was at practice, except for linebacker Dane Fletcher.

I wanted my Browns to draft him in at least the 4th, but they passed on him for a TE prospect who hasn’t been active all season.

I heard about him on Tim & Pat’s Movin’ The Chains on SiriusXM and came away impressed, this was before the diagnosis. I’d hoped the Browns would get him in the 2nd then. Other than Joe Tomas, we haven’t picked a lineman higher than 3rd (Shawn Lavauo last year)

Good for him. I am rooting for this guy because he should have been on my squad.

I’m super happy he’s on my team. Marcus’ story isn’t just a good football story – it’s a good life story. My teenager is recovering from cancer and we are both huge Pats fans. Best of luck to you Marcus.
